Apocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor of the skin that typically arises in areas rich in apocrine glands, such as axilla and perineum. The main differential diagnosis is a metastasis from a primary apocrine carcinoma of the breast. Several authors have attempted to define morphological and immunohistochemical parameters to differentiate metastasis from primary apocrine carcinoma of the skin, but none of these had been demonstrated to be reliable markers. Here, we report a case of primary apocrine carcinoma of the scrotum that relapsed three times within a few years, without any clinical or radiological evidence of any other tumor of breast or other sites.
大汗腺癌是一种罕见的皮肤肿瘤，通常发生于富含大汗腺的部位，如腋窝和会阴。主要鉴别诊断是乳腺原发性大汗腺癌的转移。几位作者试图定义形态学和免疫组化参数以区分皮肤原发性大汗腺癌的转移，但这些均未被证明是可靠的标志物。在此，我们报告一例阴囊原发性大汗腺癌，该病例在几年内复发三次，且无任何乳腺或其他部位其他肿瘤的临床或影像学证据。
